What our clients say

There’s a reason Culligan of Central Ontario is the best water treatment company in Central Ontario with over 4.2-Stars Google Reviews.

I had been wanting to improve the water in my home for years, but it wasn’t until I saw how much our hard water was impacting our kitchen and bathroom renovations that I finally decided to upgrade to soft water with Culligan. I’m so glad I did. The difference has been huge. No more water marks or hard water stains on our faucets, and everything (including the dishwasher) stays noticeably cleaner. My hair and skin have improved drastically since switching and don’t have to use half the conditioner bottle on my hair anymore.Working with Matthew made the whole process even better. He was kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns, didn’t oversell, and simply educated me on what system would be best for my needs. Overall, such a great experience. I highly recommend Culligan, and especially Matthew!
Matthew was great and was present for the installation, making sure tech knew our requirments
Matthew was very informative. He came back after installation and there was a little issue with the water. He reset the system. Came back and tested the water and all good now. Excellent service. 😁👍
We had the pleasure of dealing with Matthew from Culligan. He was very nice, explained everything in detail and spent lots of time testing my water. He was very knowledgable and great at explaining every detail.He visited us after the install to re test the water which is a great service that most companies don’t do.I would highly recommend you deal with Matthew if you are sourcing a water system.
We chose Culligan primarily because they are willing and able to deliver and bring salt inside and put it in our tank. Matt was helpful with getting us set up. Thank you
Matthew is amazing- assisting the initial installation 2 years agoHe is still available for any support
One day recently I noticed our water was brown. Called Culligan and there were here within 2 days. Sample of our water was taken and it was very high with iron. Matthew was here the next day and suggested we get a Big Blue Filter. We had it installed, the next day Matthew dropped by to show me how to change the filter. He opened the filter and it was already brown from the iron.Thank you Matthew and all the staff for being prompt to resolve our water problem.
We were looking to cancel our service but Matthew came and tested our water and provided the best option for our needs. Old fashioned service which does happen much anymore. Daniel did an amazing job of the installation. Thank you to both for this and we will remain a loyal client with Culligan.
Great water so far!Matthew was super knowledgeable and provided great service.
We had a great experience with Culligan Barrie! Matthew, the sales representative, was amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful throughout the process. He also met our timelines and was extremely accommodating! Kyle, the installer, was professional, friendly, and efficient. Since the installation, our water tastes fantastic, and we’re so happy to have this system in our new home and thankful for the peace of mind! Highly recommend Culligan Barrie and their team!
Great experience. Old water softener was not working. Some highly knowledgeable staff were able to guide us in the proper direction. Now we have some solid water !! Not too solid tho now that there is less calcium in it!! Thanks Matthew for the guidance and support.
Matthew was my service techVery sufficient polite, cleans up after he is done and always on timeVery happy with his service
A few years ago, I was actively shopping around for a comprehensive water treatment solution for my home. I had several different companies come in to quote and explain their systems, but honestly, none of them inspired confidence. I found that their explanations were vague, and I was left feeling uncomfortable and uncertain about what I was actually buying or how it worked.That all changed when I met Matthew from Culligan Water.From the start, Matthew was a breath of fresh air. He took the time to explain everything—and I mean everything—in detail. He broke down exactly what the treatment process involved, how the equipment functioned, and why it was the right fit for my specific water quality issues. I finally became absolutely comfortable and confident in making a significant investment in my home's water.We initially started with a Culligan Carbon Filter, and the improvement was immediate for drinking water quality. After a year, I didn't hesitate to call Matthew back when the hard water in our area was getting a little bit too rough on our skin. We chose to also purchase a Culligan SMART Softener, and the combined results have been nothing short of amazing. The overall water quality and feel in our home is vastly improved.Beyond the superb products, the service is equally excellent. Right after our installation, we needed to call back for an adjustment, and Matthew and the entire Culligan team were incredibly responsive, friendly, and accommodating.I highly recommend Matthew and Culligan Water to anyone considering water treatment. You will get expert advice, superior equipment, and unmatched service.
Thanks to Matthew, purchasing my Culligan water softener was an easy decision. Matthew is knowledgeable, provides all the options and does not pressure you into getting anything. Matthew provides education regarding water treatment systems and answers all questions in a professional manner. Matthew attended when my softener was installed, assisting when needed to ensure it went smoothly. His follow up is next to none! I have never experienced follow up after my installation like I have with Matthew. Culligan in Barrie is lucky to have him on staff!
We had the pleasure of working with Matthew on our first installation of our water softener and carbon filter 5 years ago. We really enjoyed our water over the years and last month when we moved we contacted him again for our new house. He did not disappoint. Together we were able to figure out how to make it work for us and we’re very happy!! Thanks again Matthew!!
Amazing work by this team! Thank you! Matthew was great and really helped us out!
I had an excellent experience working with Matthew from Culligan Water. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely went out of his way to make sure I understood everything about my system. From recommending the right salt and filters to explaining how the equipment works, he made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free.Matthew’s customer service stood out — he was friendly, responsive, and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing. It’s rare to meet someone who combines expertise with such a sincere, helpful attitude.Overall, I feel very confident about my water system now, and that’s hugely thanks to his support. Highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for professional, trustworthy service from Culligan.
Matthew from Culligan in Barrie was awesome! Very helpful and a great communicator!
We bought a home this summer that had a well. We weren't keen on the iron content and the odor. After placing a call to Culligan in Barrie (home had a Culligan water system in it) they sent a technician out to look at the system and update filters. We expressed an interest in an iron filter. Matthew came out to the house and was so informative. He explained how the current system worked and showed us with chemical testing how much iron was in our system and it was an iron filter that was required. We had the iron filter installed and today was Matthew's follow up appointment. He again was so informative and showed what our water was testing at compared to before the iron filter. We are so pleased with Culligan Barrie and their service. Highly recommend them and Matthew.Paula and Jason Williams Keswick Ontario
Matt was extremely helpful and communicated all instructions on equipment very well. Many thanks.
I am very pleased with the new water treatment set up. Matt has provided excellent service and the installation looks much better than the plumbing before hand. Thank you Culligan
Outstanding Water Softener & Exceptional Service!I recently had a Culligan water softener installed, and the results have exceeded my expectations. The water feels noticeably softer, there are no more hard water stains, and even my dishes and laundry look cleaner. It’s made a real difference in our daily routine and overall home comfort.A big shout-out to Mathew, who provided truly exceptional service. He was knowledgeable, patient, and walked me through every detail—from choosing the right system to explaining how it works. His professionalism and friendly attitude made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.If you’re considering a water softener, I highly recommend going with Culligan and asking for Mathew. You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Matthew from Culligan Barrie! He was super friendly, professional and thorough. Matthew went above and beyond to sort out all our well water issues. The Smart products he recommended are working great to make sure our water stays soft, odourless and clear! Highly recommend.
We now have excellent water, and are very happy thanks to Matthew!
5 Stars to Matthew of Culligan Barrie! Superior service and education regarding a new install we recently had completed!
I can’t say enough about the excellent service we received from Culligan. Matthew was outstanding — he took the time to educate us on our water, explained how the water softener and RO system work, and answered all of our questions in detail. He came back during the installation to ensure everything was done properly. We are very happy with our new water system and would definitely recommend Culligan Barrie.
Matthew was very helpful and accommodating. Great customer service and support! Installed a UV filter and disinfected my system. Gave me good tips/advice on my filter and softener. Looking forward to clean water!
I noticed a real difference in my water quality after the service! The work was done quickly and professionally. Shaun Whelan was great to deal with, very knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent experience overall, highly recommend!
We recently had a Culligan water softener and purifier installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The difference in our water quality was noticeable right away — cleaner, softer water throughout the house and great-tasting drinking water.A big part of the great experience was thanks to Matthew, who handled the installation. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and courteous from start to finish. He took the time to explain how everything worked, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure the setup was neat and tidy before leaving. It’s rare these days to see that level of care and attention to detail.If you’re considering a water softener or filtration system, I highly recommend Culligan — and be sure to ask for Matthew. Outstanding service and an even better product!
We had a wonderful experience with Matthew. . He was very polite, took his time to explain everything to us. He phoned us to make sure that the installation went well and then followed up to make sure the softener was doing its job. This gentleman is knowledgeable, polite and very patient. I would highly recommend him to anyone. It was a pleasure dealing with him.
I’m very grateful for the service provided by Matthew ; he is extremely polite, kind, and competent. This is my first house, and he helped me with all my questions. Now we have the best water to for use, including for drinking . I’m very happy! Thank you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️🥰
I have been a Culligan customer for over 10 years and just moved to a condo and had a full system installWater softener and tankless RO systemMatthew is my service consultant and I would comment that he was excellent and provided me with superior service that you do not see very often nowGreat work Matthew and keep up the great serviceRegardsPeter
I have been very happy with Matt's services. The service was quick and he has been very personable.
Matthew was very considerate, knowledgeable and friendly.Concerns about water-dog wouldn't drink town water, residue on clothes after laundry done, residue on body after bathing , spots on dishes and glasses, water had terrible taste.Once installing softener and carbon filter we were able to use less laundry soap, bathing soap, etcHighly recommend this serviceThank you Matthew 😊
Matthew is consultant for the water softener system. He has explained and demonstrated the best quality water softener system which gave us a green light of the good water. We are experiencing the difference.I appreciate for his professionalism and impersonal skills.
Matthew was a nice and helpful guy .He was very knowledgeable .we purchased the Smart HE water softener and carbon filter combo. So far very happy with the system and service.
Love my new water filtration system ❤️. Matt was very informative, helpful and very personable, he answered all my questions and showed me how everything works and how to maintain it in the future. I highly recommend 👌
Mathew knows what we need and follows it from signings to install to setup up to older tank removal. 👍
We got our reverse osmosis system installed about 2 months ago. We met with Matthew, who was one of the most knowledgeable and sincere salesperson we had ever met. He spent a lot of time with us explaining water quality, explaining the quality of water from the lake, the quality of water that we buy and the quality of various different bottled waters and of course the quality of water from Culligan. He was extremely knowledgeable like I said and explained everything so that we could all understand what he was talking about. We had the system installed within a week and have been absolutely thrilled with it. Our water quality now is amazing And it really tastes fresh and clean. Would highly recommend Culligan Barrie, be sure to ask for Matthew! Hey Culligan Man! Lol, couldn't resist. 😁 Also I should add that the installation process was very precise and clean. We are thrilled we no longer have to purchase drinking water.
Shout out to Shaun and Keith!After doing some research on water softeners and filtration systems, we came across the Culligan website. Shaun was incredibly helpful , he tested our water, identified the issues, and gave us clear instructions and the right tools to make our water perfect. He explained everything thoroughly and delivered exactly what he promised. The installation process and choice of units worked out perfectly for our needs.Thank you, Shaun and Keith, for your excellent service and professionalism! Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure working with Mathew. He took the time to explain our challenges and quickly came up with solutions for our new home. He is very knowledgeable and never pushed us to purchase anything he felt we didn’t need. Installing a new water softener, reverse osmosis system, and iron tank was exactly what we needed as we use well water.
I am very pleased with my new Culligan hybrid iron filter system. We tried different filters over several years, with poor results, and Culligan has finally given me the clean water I have always wanted. Matt was very helpful with explaining the options and with assisting me to choose the best system for my needs. He was also very patient with explaining the process I need to follow to test my pH and to change the filter. He answered all of my questions and followed up with additional suggestions for making my maintenance work easier. Kyle worked quickly and efficiently to install my new system and was also very patient with answering my questions. I am very pleased and would recommend the Culligan team.
MATTHEW was great, helped with understanding and solving any issues we had with old water softener we had. Our water is clean and tastes much better with new system.Thanks Matthew
Easy installation. Shaun was very straight forward with all thats needed. Super simple and affordable
Matt was very courteous, very knowledgeable, and responded in a timely manner to phone calls. He made a follow up visit to make sure everything was working well and answer any questions. We would highly recommend the culligan reverse osmosis and the sales rep Matt and the service rep Kyle.
Matt fixed us up with our water system. We had a couple hiccups after installation but they were taken care of and Matt came back to check everything and all is working very well Thank you
Great sales experience. The team did a great job with the installation. Very happy with the service. Great thanks to Matt and team
Matthew was absolutely the best professional in his field, to collaborate with me pre and post setup of my new water softener system.Love the new system and especially the soft water.Thank you so much Matthew!

Water Softener FAQs

Culligan Water offers a full-service installation to make getting started with your new system even easier. Your trained Culligan Water expert will expertly connect your water softening system to the water supply, the drain and the salt-filled brine tank, and you’ll be all set. The average installation takes about 2-4 hours.

Watch: What to expect at Your Water Softener Installation

The price of a Culligan water softener will depend on the system as well as its features, efficiency, durability, capacity and more. Culligan Water offers flexible payment plans whether you choose to rent, purchase or finance. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today and a Culligan Water expert will help you determine what your home needs.

Water softeners work through basic chemistry. The main tank of water softening systems is filled with negatively charged resin beads. Meanwhile, hard water is caused by high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which are both positively charged molecules. As hard water pumps through a water softener, the calcium and magnesium are attracted to the resin beads and removed from your water.

To help determine the appropriate size for your water softener, your local Culligan Water expert will assess factors like the hardness of your water, household water usage and flow rate. Schedule a free, in-home consultation today to get custom recommendations based on your home’s needs.

If you’re dealing with the unfavorable effects of hard water — like dry skin and hair, limescale buildup around faucets and showerheads, soap scum on shower walls or too much wear and tear on your water-using appliances — you may need a water softener. That said, remember that not all systems were created equal. With Culligan Water, you can rest assured that you’ll get a full-service partner, quality products with durability and an established brand you can trust.
